Song Jiang heard the scout's report that Hua Rong had already returned from Qingzhou Mansion, so he settled down the affairs of the village and rushed to Qingfeng Village. The brothers were very happy to meet, but fortunately, the year was approaching, and there was not much official business in the village, so Hua Rong took Song Jiang home with a few words from his subordinates.

After Cui Shi and Hua Ziwei met Song Jiang, they went to prepare wine and dinner, and Song Jiang saw that Ziwei was wearing women's clothes today, which was also cute.

Song Jiang told Hua Rong about the kidnapping of Liu Gao's son and the defeat of Liu Gao. Although Hua Rong already knew, he still couldn't help but applaud, and even said why he didn't take advantage of the chaos to kill the old thief, with a look of regret.

Song Jiang said: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, now is not the time for Liu Gao to die, when the time is ripe, he will definitely die without a place to be buried." ”

Hua Rong seemed to be chewing on Song Jiang's words, bowed his head and muttered: "When the time comes, he will definitely die without a place to be buried······ Raised his head suddenly, looked at Song Jiang suspiciously, and asked, "Brother, doesn't he have a plan?" ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but it also depends on the effect of your trip to Qingzhou Mansion." ”

"You see, I'm happy to forget about business."

Hua Rong hurriedly said: "Listening to my brother's words, the Murong Prefect and the rest of the dignitaries have already sent money and gifts. The face of this money is really big, no one paid attention to me in previous years, but this year, everyone smiled and praised me again and again, claiming that they would help if there was something. ”

Song Jiang looked at Hua Rong, without words, thinking that he would not run to Qingzhou Mansion, after the gift, he patted his ass and came back, and he didn't do something time-sensitive, so there is too little work to do!

Seeing that Song Jiang was silent, Hua Rong knew that he was off topic, so he hurriedly continued: "I also invited officials at all levels to banquets separately, and most of them revealed that they would definitely help if they had something. ”

Hua Rong paused slightly, frowned and said: "However, the prefect of Murong said that our Qingfeng Village is not in harmony with the civil and military, and we will cooperate with Liu Gao in the future to do a good job in Qingfeng Village, as long as I make a contribution, I will be promoted." It can be seen that Liu Gao has already made a small report. ”

"Liu Gao is not a problem!" Song Jiang said: "In this way, it seems that the purpose of Brother Qingzhou's trip has been achieved. ”

"But it's a bit reluctant to give so much silver to those dog officials for nothing." Hua Rong said regretfully.

"I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, brother, don't worry about a few money." Song Jiang patted Hua Rong's shoulder and comforted: "Sooner or later, I will earn it back." ”

While talking, the wine and food were brought to the table, and the two brothers talked about the wine, talking about some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes while drinking, and immediately pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were very happy.

In his previous life, he couldn't figure it out, how could Hua Rong, a hereditary military attaché with an iron rice bowl given by the imperial court, harbor wanted criminals from the imperial court, and finally rebelled against Liangshan with Song Jiang? You must know that Hua Rong is not only very righteous, but also cares more about his name, and when he hanged himself in the end, he was grateful to Song Jiang and recruited An to make his name in history.

Now, if you have any ideas, you won't have any good fruit to eat, so I just give it a try, so I propose to change the big bowl. After four or five bowls in a row, Hua Rong was a little dizzy, and Song Jiang secretly laughed at the fact that I can win many people with high-alcohol wine in later generations, not to mention the current low-alcohol wine.

"Brother, look at the way of the world today, the saint is confused by traitorous ministers, and the subordinate officials are full of private pockets, bullying subordinates, and oppressing the people, and the lives of the people living at the bottom are miserable, and they have risen up one after another. Even some subordinates who were officials were forced to fall into the grass and pick up swords and guns to be enemies of the court! ”

Song Jiang sighed and said: "Thinking about what a hero Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, was forced to go to Liangshan by Gao Yu, it is really a tragedy of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Hey!" Hua Rong sighed: "It's a pity that Lin Sect is the first hero. ”

"I wanted to serve the court and save the people from fire and water, but there are many moths in the official mansion, and there is no way to stand on my loyalty, and there is no way to serve the country for my brother!"

Song Jiang spread his hands and said angrily: "Now that I am in the rivers and lakes, I have become a wanted criminal in the imperial court. I think I should have less contact with my brother in the future, so as not to cause trouble to my brother and affect my brother. ”

"Brother, my brother and I will go to the fire in the water!"

Hua Rong glared at the drunken hazy eyes and said, "It's a big deal, this bird official who has been angry all day long, wouldn't it be happy to go with my brother!" ”

Song Jiang is right when he thinks about it now, Hua Rongyi is a special brother and righteous anger, and second, the military attache has been pressed by civilian officials for a long time, and he has been resentful in his heart for a long time, forming a psychological distortion.

"Brother, don't think like this, you have to be a good official, and you have to be a big one. is also to save the people from fire and water, and we have taken different paths. ”

Song Jiang explained again and again: "I can eliminate violence and peace, rob the rich and help the poor, you can use the power in your hands to benefit the people, although we take two paths, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, to let the people live a good life." ”

Song Jiang sighed and said: "'The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!'" It's a pity that the road is long and bumpy! ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." After Hua Rong heard this, he suddenly rushed into the sky with pride, raised his hand and swore an oath: "In the future, I will listen to my brother, as long as my brother says a word, I will never give up!" ”

"The way I paved for my brother is that you first sit on the Zhengzhi Village of Qingfeng Village." Song Jiang saw that Hua Rong was about to speak, waved his hand and continued: "In the future, I will find an opportunity to be promoted to Qingzhou Mansion and sit in the handsome position, all of which will be provided by my brother." ”

Seeing Hua Rong nodded, Song Jiang said again: "Wait for my brother to sit upright, I will open a big restaurant in Qingfeng Village, and 20% of the income will be given to my brother up and down, and then my brother and I will drink in the restaurant, and I will not be happy!" ”

"How can you ask so much for my brother." Hua Rong's head shook like a rattle.

"The dissatisfied brother said, I set up a farm in Qingfeng Mountain, and the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the restaurant are all provided by the cottage, and the cost is low." Song Jiang said: "When you are promoted to Qingzhou Mansion, open another one there, and get more silver to fill the bottomless pit of Murong Governor's Mansion." ”

Hua Rong nodded suddenly in realization. Song Jiang pointed in the direction of Nanzhai and said, "As for Liu Gao, I have already chosen a good day for him." ”

"Brother, ...... this!?" Hua Rong asked puzzled.

"This matter is very important, and my brother came with my ears." Song Jiang whispered to Hua Rong about the plan, and Hua Rong kept nodding.

"High, it's really high, my brother's plan is to kill two birds with one stone." Hua Rong gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "In addition to Liu Gao, give me another credit, what a wonderful strategy!" ”

"Hahaha······ Cheers! ”

"Brother, I'll send you a guard." Hua Rong shouted as he spoke, "Call Hua Chen in!" ”

After a while, a handsome boy of eighteen or nineteen came in, with a brave air on him. Hua Rong pointed at Song Jiang and said, "Hua Chen, you will be my brother's guard in the future, and you will protect your brother's safety." ”

"Childe, rest assured, Huachen will protect each other with his life." Huachen arched his hand and said.

"He was a slave on the black market when he was a child, and my father bought him from the black market and named him Huachen, and although he was a slave, we didn't see him as a slave. Because he is obsessed with martial arts, I sent him to Shaolin Temple five years ago to learn art, and within a few days of coming back, his fists and feet are still passable, and more than a dozen strong men are not close. ”

Hua Rong explained: "Besides, most people in Qingfeng Village don't know him, so it's good to contact my brother in the future." ”

Song Jiang also likes it, having a bodyguard with strong martial arts makes his safety factor high, similar to Di Renjie's Li Yuanfang, that kind of strength is not something ordinary people do.

Then he took out the delicate dagger and said: "The beauty is worthy of the talent, the treasure knife is given to the hero, and this dagger is worth it if you have it." From now on you will be my guard, and we will be brothers. ”

Hua Chen took the dagger with an expressionless face, and after thanking him, he said coldly: "Hua Chen is a slave, how dare he be commensurate with his master and brother!" ”

Is this pretending to be cool?

Others saw that they were all enthusiastic, how to give him a gift, he was still cold, Song Jiang immediately had a feeling of a hot face and a cold ass, but it still felt weird, and said casually: "It's just a title, if you don't like it, whatever you want!" ”

Seeing this, Hua Rong said: "My brother misunderstood, Hua Chen has always been like this, it may have been tortured in the black market when he was a child, although he is indifferent on the outside, but he is fanatical on the inside, and he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness." It's the same in my family, where I've always considered myself the following. ”

After speaking, Hua Rong took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Song Jiangdao: "Brother, you take this!" ”

Song Jiang took it and opened it to see that it was written that Huachen was the lifelong slave of the person who took this document, and there were fingerprints on it. He didn't understand what the paper meant, so he asked, "What is it?" ”

"Slave!"

"Slaves!?"

Song Jiang couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this, and ripped off his slave status, so he blurted out something that sounded like a ghost to others: "Civilized society emphasizes equality before the law, how can there be such an ugly slavery system?" This is an illegal act, it is contrary to the major policies of the party and the state, I want to call the police, I want to post on Moments, and disclose this ugly behavior......"

Looking at the wide mouths one by one, Song Jiang smiled slightly, how could his nasty thoughts be unstable! Always running to the next generation, this time is good, others think they must be crazy.

At this time, Huachen was not as calm as he had just now, because tearing up the document marked the restoration of Huachen's freedom, and he also said that it was Song Jiang who pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to tear up the slave documents, so he said those unbelievable things, so he bowed his head and said with a choked voice: "Huachen is from a humble background, the master is so loving, Huachen will definitely die as a reward!" ”

"What master is not master, I said that if I am a brother, I will always be a brother!"

Song Jiang picked up Huachen and said: "No matter what kind of humble background, manly husband, with your ability to fight for the world, who cares about your background at that time?" When you become famous, my brother will marry you an emperor as a daughter-in-law, who dares to say that you are from a humble background! ”

Hua Rong and Hua Chen worshiped Song Jiang together, Song Jiang was very happy, and the three of them had tears and laughter, making a mess. At the door at this time, Cui Shi and Hua Ziwei, who had been standing for a while, looked at Song Jiang blankly, like looking at a cloud of mist. They would never have dreamed that Song Jiang's seemingly joking words had actually made a marriage, and Huachen's wife was an emperor who was in trouble in Jingkang.

The next day, Song Jiang Huachen and the two horses galloped towards Qingfeng Mountain, and at the same time brought nearly 100 road guides that Hua Rong had done well.
